After reading the manifesto/rant, Stack makes several valid points about the US government being corrupt and run by a bunch of rat bastards. However, though I have never liked "W" or the IRS I have never disliked someone/something so much that killing myself and innocent people was an option.

Stack is just another case of a barking loon pushed a wee bit too far.

I just read his "manifesto" which is really just a "suicide note" lets not glamorize him.

Tragic:( He sounds mentally ill. So trying to kill his family, and then himself while taking out a building full of middle class working people is supposed to make the world a better place.

He is clearly a victim of everyone and has no responsibility in his plight.

No this does not change the government or big business but it does serious damage to his friends, family and the middle class working people in the building he hit. Further, it hurts all the private pilots who honor the licenses given to them. We saw a loss of freedoms as airline passengers following 9/11. Now I am sure there will be some loss of freedom for private pilots as well.

People like this just prove the point that "Government must protect us from ourselves"...this is how it happens we give up one freedom after another and we have no one but to blame but ourselves.

All it takes for evil to prevail is for good people to do nothing!!

Seriously, can we not get help for the people around us that are turning delusional. There had to be a good number of people that during all of these "meetings" & "letter writing" times saw his rage and level of despondency as alarming and potentially dangerous.

Lets quit ignoring these people and start trying to refer them for help. We pay for our apathy to others in one way or another!

"2:11People like this just prove the point that "Government must protect us from ourselves"...this is how it happens we give up one freedom after another and we have no one but to blame but ourselves."

That possibly could be the most idiotic thing I have heard in my entire life and I used to be a democrat so that is saying something. So your idea is that no matter what the government does, we should just take it...because if we oppose it, we are just proving that the government needs to further control us? Jesus...you don't vote do you? Or have kids? Or go outside around other people?

Like I've said before, everyone should stop paying their taxes then see if Washington will listen. Whata they gonna do? Put all of us in jail?Stack had some very valid points in his Manifesto. I do believe however he was so fed-up with the crap he lost his way, mentally. Very sad. Even more sad are those who ignore exactly what he said. Call him a goof-ball or whatever but my personal opinion is that it's only going to get worse in Washington then it will all run down to us, more people will be in his situation and become so pissed off they will chose to handle it like he did. Most have become so numb to the morons in Washington D.C. they ignore the fact it's a joke when truthfully something needs to be done but, not what Stack chose. Tax paying Citizens need to be heard by Washington instead of ignored. We do pay their slary and the longer we ignore their incompetence the longer they'll be laughing at us every time they get paid. Wake-up America!!

2:13 You go ahead and cry and bitch and moan about crap that happens every day around the world to total strangers. I prefer to continue to live my life till it ends & not worry too much about that sort of thing. When I die, well, I'm dead...that's 'LIFE'.

I have been waiting since November 14 for a First Time Home Buyer $8000 stimulus check to get printed in that office. Something tells me I'm SOL now. Therefore it's something to me. It affects me directly.

Yes, he was solidly middle class. Haven't you heard that owning a plane is the new home ownership? All my middle class friends are buying up aircraft. Plus, a two-story home in North Austin. Real middle class there.

Morons.

Now will you retards that say "Well, white people NEVER fly planes into buildings!" kindly shut up? I say we profile, detain, and torture all white, 50 and up year old men. Especially if they have pilot's licenses. Bend over, the freedom train is making a stop!

Only way it could have been better if the guy was recorded saying "PRAISE THE LORD!" as he plummeted into the office glass.

He had a history of IRS problems. Was looking to lose his house and his plane (yes, it was his plane). He felt the IRS wasn't working with him to solve the problem. This started a couple of years ago so you can't blame the present administration. I work in federal government and have good info. 2:14, you better remain annon. for the rest of your life. Pretty much zero tolerance on threats to the President in this age of terrorism.
